On Deck

Particular features of the boat's exterior design are highlighted, including its raised bulwarks and curves which give it a distinctive look. The boat is practical with thoughtful design decisions throughout.

The yacht features a flybridge, however, there is a coupé version available as well. The yacht includes a small garage with a split platform, which makes it easier to mount and dismount a tender. Also shown is a barbecue area on the back of the yacht.

Interior

The yacht has a satin walnut finish, with an option for a high gloss finish. There is ample storage space for various items, such as a toaster, kettle and sandwich maker. The galley is well-equipped with plenty of cold storage and cooking equipment. There is non-slip teak flooring, which as a safety feature is appreciated.

The helm position offers a good view and comfortable seating for three people. The little nook is a nice area to tuck away in when the boat is stationary. If you choose the coupé version, you'll get more light and air, but with the flybridge version, you'll have a larger outdoor space.

Below deck, the VIP guest cabin is shown, this is spacious and bright thanks to cream-colored feature panels. The cabin has plenty of storage and even includes a dressing table. The ensuite bathroom doubles as a day head and is quite spacious. There’s also a laundry room with easy access, a bunk bed room, and the main owner’s cabin. The owner's cabin also has an ensuite bathroom with a large window.

Performance

The engines are positioned well forward for weight distribution in the engine room. The yacht has a pair of Volvo Penta IPS-950 engines, which can reach speeds of 33 knots, cruising at 30.  At a speed of 4.8 knots, a range of 1,400 nautical miles can be achieved.

In Summary

Throughout the tour, Nick appreciates the thoughtful design details, such as the numerous stainless-steel rails, the solid build of the yacht, and the non-slip teak flooring. He likes that it feels solid and that it seems like a boat designed to be used. He sums up his tour by saying that while you could probably find a 55-footer with more space, he doubts whether you would find one with more style.
